Chapter 483: Chapter 302: Rushing to the Moon and Extraterrestrial Anchor Points_2

Chen Yun also began the slow deceleration phase, gradually reducing his increasing speed to ensure he wouldn’t crash directly onto the Moon.

After all, if possible,

Chen Yun didn’t want his moon landing to be too disgraceful.

To slam into the Moon like a meteorite at several times the speed of sound and leave a new crater behind would be a bit too exaggerated.

Speaking of moon landing, Chen Yun still hoped for a bit of a fairy-tale-like grace.

After all, how celestial is Chang’e’s flight to the Moon?

Moreover, from ancient times to the present, there have been countless legends about the Moon, and Chen Yun had somewhat mixed feelings about it.

Humanity has always been filled with endless curiosity and imagination towards the Moon, reflected in the myths, legends, and stories of various cultures.

In Hua Country, the best-known story is that of "Chang’e Flying to the Moon," which tells of Hou Yi’s wife, Chang’e, who, to prevent the Immortality Potion from falling into the hands of evildoers, swallowed the potion and ascended to live in the Moon Palace—this legend symbolizes sacrifice and eternal love.

In Greek mythology, Selene is the goddess of the Moon, and she rides across the sky each night in a golden chariot pulled by two horses, representing the Moon’s beauty and mystery.

In Northern European mythology, the moon god, Mani, is responsible for driving the Moon across the sky, reflecting the importance of the Moon to Nordic people’s lives.

In West African culture, the Moon is seen as a wise old man who often intervenes in human affairs to help solve problems.

And in the cultures of Native Americans, there are the moon goddess in Mayan Culture and the moon god Tezcatlipoca in Aztec culture, with the Moon closely related to fertility, agriculture, and the cycle of life...

For such a special Moon,

Chen Yun did not want to forcibly create a new crater, which would make him no different from those unscrupulous tourists who leave their marks everywhere.

While pondering,

Chen Yun gently adjusted his Spiritual Position to generate a reverse thrust that varied from light to heavy to slow his forward speed.

As the Moon’s outline gradually became clearer before his eyes, he experienced an unprecedented sense of tranquility and majesty.

The craters and mountains on the Moon’s surface presented a chilling beauty under the sunlight, stirring in him an indescribable emotion.

Chen Yun continued to slow his pace until he could approach the Moon’s surface in an almost stationary state.

Compared to many other moon landing methods, this was indeed a truly soft landing.

He chose a relatively flat area as his landing point, a place that appeared to be even and not have too much undulating terrain.

As the distance shortened, he adjusted his posture to ensure a smooth landing.

Soon,

Chen Yun took a step, as if it were no different from any ordinary step,

and gently touched down on the Moon’s surface.

Looking around at the unique environment, Chen Yun took a deep breath of the non-existent air.

At this moment, he had reached the Moon.

He, who was once just an ordinary person, could now fly directly to the Moon.

Such a huge transformation had only taken a few short months.

But within such a brief period,

Everything had changed.

Chen Yun smiled softly and then continued to closely inspect his surroundings.

All around was a world of absolute silence.

He looked down at his feet at the soil that seemed delicate but was incredibly hard—the Moon Soil made of tiny rock fragments, dust, and fine particles.

These particles were exceedingly lightweight in the Moon’s low-gravity environment.

Each step would raise a small puff of dust that drifted away slowly, rather than falling quickly, as on Earth.

Looking up at the sky, Chen Yun noticed that without the obstruction of an atmosphere, the starry sky was exceptionally clear and bright.

The stars no longer twinkled but hung steadily in the black canvas of the sky, as if numerous diamonds were embedded in it.

Where the Sun shone directly was intensely bright, while the shadows were pitch black, with almost no transition between the two—a phenomenon caused by the lack of atmospheric diffusion of light on the Moon.

In terms of temperature, there was a huge temperature difference on the Moon.

Flying around, Chen Yun found

that in places with direct sunlight, the temperature could reach about 127 degrees Celsius, while at night, it would plummet to around negative 173 degrees Celsius.

Such extreme temperature differences had no effect on Chen Yun.

He continued to look around.

He discovered that the Moon’s surface was covered with impact craters of all sizes, the traces left by countless asteroids and comets over billions of years.

The larger craters often had terraced edges, while smaller ones were smoother.

Apart from impact craters, there were also many mountains and valleys casting long shadows under the sunlight, adding a touch of mystery to this desolate landscape.

Chen Yun noticed that the surface of the Moon seemed to possess a particular sense of tranquility, a feeling that couldn’t be experienced on Earth.

Here, there was no sound of wind, no sound of water, not even the sound of footsteps could be heard.

Even the occasional dust kicked up and softly landing on the ground failed to disrupt the silence.

This quietude made one feel both lonely and free, as if the entire universe were left to him alone.

Chen Yun walked around in silence.

Soon,

he stopped in his tracks.

The rest of the landscape was basically the same; uninterested, he busied himself with real work.

Chen Yun casually grabbed a handful of Moon Soil and placed it in the palm of his hand, then gazed intently upon it using thermal sight.

Although not as conspicuous as a laser,

an instant high temperature of three thousand degrees was applied to the handful of Moon Soil.

As the temperature rose,

the particles in the Moon Soil began to soften and gradually melt into a liquid state.

At first, the fine particles in the Moon Soil began to slightly smoke under the high temperature.

Then the color changed, going from gray to a deeper shade, until it finally became a transparent molten state.

Chen Yun carefully controlled the temperature to avoid overheating and causing certain components within the Moon Soil to evaporate away.

As the temperature further increased, silicate minerals in the Moon Soil began to melt, forming a substance similar to glass.

The molten Moon Soil flowed slowly in Chen Yun’s hands, like liquid, but much denser than water.

Chen Yun maintained the stable high temperature to ensure all the Moon Soil would melt evenly.

In less than two minutes, once all the Moon Soil had fully melted,

Chen Yun began to reduce the temperature, allowing the molten Moon Soil to gradually cool.

During this process, he shaped it into a rough cube with his hands.

With the temperature dropping, the molten Moon Soil began to solidify, gradually regaining its firmness.

Until it was completely solidified.

At this point, the previously loose Moon Soil had turned into a solid piece.

This solid piece had a smooth surface and a dense internal structure, exhibiting a unique luster.

Chen Yun gently picked up this newly formed solid, closely inspecting its texture and appearance.

It was much harder than the original Moon Soil and also more compact.

This high-temperature molten Moon Soil solid seemed to have better physical and chemical properties, likely higher strength and durability, as well as decent thermal insulation.

He threw the solid onto the ground, confirming its impressive level of sturdiness.

Chen Yun was very pleased with this.

Realizing that it could potentially be a future building material for lunar construction, it could later be used to build bases or other structures.

However,

he didn’t consider it as a building material,

but as a new beacon and anchor point for his super visual-range position perception ability.

Having already come to the Moon,

wouldn’t it be better to simply leave behind a Super-visual Range Position Perception Token?

In this way,

the Spiritual Body could directly cross over the distance of over three hundred thousand kilometers and arrive on the Moon instantly.

This would be Chen Yun’s first off-Earth anchor point, different in significance.

Such a future,

just thinking about it was a little exciting.

Contemplating,

Chen Yun expertly began to apply patina and sacrificial refining to the cube obtained from molten Moon Soil.

Preparing his anchor point on the Moon.

Of course,

the plan of having the little brother from the Philippines send another Super-visual Range Position Perception Token into space was not to be canceled. According to Chen Yun’s plan, they were to send it into Earth’s orbit, which did not conflict with placing one on the Moon.
